My DEAR friend

My very dear friend
He knows me like no other.
And, still, he likes me.

When I dream, he joins with me.
I cry; he wipes my tears
I laugh; he shakes his head

When I soar above the trees, he flies beside me.
Laughing, joking and encouraging me to continue.

When I became unraveled, he held me together.
Willing to drop everything to support me

Winding every toy in the store.
Always, letting me bounce off the walls.

Every time I look at the moon, I think,
I was born too late or he too soon.

I can’t imagine I’ll ever find someone to complete me.
They have very big shoes to fill.

It is what it is, we are who we are ...

My very dear friend
He knows me like no other.
And, still, he likes me.
